WP Plugins: Cristian Merli & WP Answers

This week at WP Plugins we featured Cristian Merli, developer of the WP Answers Plugin. Italian-born Cristian lives in Canada with his wife and children. By day he is a PHP developer and in his spare time, when he’s not playing soccer or playing with his kids, he develops plugins for WordPress.

Yesterday we looked in detail at one of his plugins – WP Answers. WP Answers is a plugin that enables you to run a Yahoo Answers style question and answer website. Unlike the themes that are similar, the WP Answers plugin works with any theme – just choose which page you want it to appear on and it integrates seemlessly with the rest of your site. You can use your theme’s CSS, the plugin’s styles or you can use the color picker to generate some new colors for it.

WP Answers works on a points-based system. When users register they are allocated points – points are deducted when they ask questions and are added when they answer them. There are loads of other great features so check out my full post on WP Plugins.

Siobhan McKeown is a big fan of words, and of WordPress, which works out pretty well since she runs Words for WP, the only copywriting service dedicated to WordPress service providers. You can find her on her personal blog,twitter and occasionally hanging out on G+.

I sincerely think that this plugin is still very young and not very scalable
For example I can put the site to develop myself:
It is a Q & A site that also combines model Foursquare.com awards (medals rewards you according to your score)

The site is free, and I intend to make it download some day (:http://Pregunta.pe
